Few classics capture the essence of British open-top motoring quite like the MG B Roadster. First introduced in 1962, the MG B became a symbol of accessible sports car fun, offering a perfect balance of charm, practicality, and engaging driving character. Its timeless design and mechanical simplicity have made it one of the most beloved classics on the road — and a staple at summer gatherings, country lanes, and classic shows across the UK.
 
This 1972 example is a genuinely remarkable car, presented in beautiful condition throughout. Subject to a full restoration, it has been meticulously brought back to form, supported by a massive stack of invoices for parts, showing the thoroughness and dedication behind its upkeep.
 
Finished with sparkling chrome bumpers that present beautifully, this example also sits on classic wire wheels, complete with a matching wire wheel spare in the boot — a true nod to its period-correct charm.
 
The interior and exterior both present to an exceptional standard, demonstrating careful attention to detail and a clear passion for preservation. Complementing the mechanical work, the car features a Heritage certificate, confirming its authenticity and adding to its collectability.
 
Mechanically, it retains its lively four-cylinder engine mated to a smooth-shifting gearbox with overdrive, making it an ideal choice for more spirited touring as well as relaxed weekend drives. As noted, it runs and drives smoothly, and it is offered with an MOT valid until August 2025, despite being exempt — further reinforcing the care and confidence in its condition.
 
All told, this MG B Roadster represents a fantastic opportunity to acquire an iconic British sports car in truly impressive condition. Ready to be enjoyed immediately, it is equally suited to show appearances or carefree summer motoring with the top down.
 
As with all vehicles, we encourage potential buyers to view the vehicle in person and make their own judgement. The team here at Barons, Marchwood, Southampton, will be happy to help and answer questions you may have.
